Biomimetic rigid-soft finger design for highly dexterous and adaptive robotic hands.

Science advances
In dexterous robotic hand design, achieving high mobility and adaptability comparable to human hands remains an ongoing challenge. Biomimetic designs mimicking the musculoskeletal structure have shown promise yet face difficulties in preserving key k...

Biohybrid robot contracts like the human iris.

Science robotics
Patterning planar muscle layers can create biohybrid robots capable of unique and controllable muscle activity.

Sticking the landing: Insect-inspired strategies for safely landing flapping-wing aerial microrobots.

Science robotics
For flying insects, the transition from flight to surface locomotion requires effective touchdown maneuvers that allow stable landings on a variety of surfaces. Landing behaviors of insects are diverse, with some using more controlled flight approach...

Wireless motion control of a swimming eel-machine hybrid robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This study presents a flexible aquatic swimming robot, which is a promising candidate for underwater search and detection missions. The robot is a living eel fitted with a wireless electronic backpack stimulator attached to its dorsal region. Leverag...

Ethics of biohybrid robotics and invertebrate research: biohybrid robotic jellyfish as a case study.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Invertebrate research ethics has largely been ignored compared to the consideration of higher order animals, but more recent focus has questioned this trend. Using the robotic control ofas a case study, we examine ethical considerations in invertebra...

2D Piezo-Ferro-Opto-Electronic Artificial Synapse for Bio-Inspired Multimodal Sensory Integration.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Multimodal sensory integration is vital for the evolution of artificial intelligence, yet current approaches often rely on physically connecting distinct sensing units (such as visual and tactile devices) through external circuits, leading to data tr...

Animal-robot interaction induces local enhancement in the Mediterranean fruit flyWiedemann.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Animal-robot interaction (ARI) is an emerging field that uses biomimetic robots to replicate biological cues, enabling controlled studies of animal behavior. This study investigates the potential for ARI systems to induce local enhancement (e.g. wher...

An innovative underdriven multi-degree-of-freedom sea turtle hydrofoil design.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This study presents a new design for a multi-degree-of-freedom underdriven mechanism. The aim is to achieve efficient bionic motion of a sea turtle hydrofoil with multi-degrees-of-freedom using a single drive source. The design focuses on the kinemat...

Stable heteroclinic channels as a decision-making model: overcoming low signal-to-noise ratio with mutual inhibition.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Bio-inspired robot controllers are becoming more complex as we strive to make them more robust to, and flexible in, noisy, real-world environments. A stable heteroclinic network (SHN) is a dynamical system that produces cyclical state transitions usi...
